I don't regret my offer at all and will contact you as soon as I return back from my trip to Denver today. Expect a private email from me within the next 24 hours. Regarding more the overall development efforts for support of XSLT 2.0 on top of .NET it seems like it would be a very good thing to begin an all encompassing community web base for all open-source projects that either have plans to build from the XSLT 2.0 support they expected on .NET or, with a very recent swift kick in the rear, to give .NET the support for XSLT 2.0 (and I guess in the same breath XPath 2.0) in the first place. Ive got a fairly large database (80+ names at last count) of domain names I have registered that in one way or another relate to XML and related technologies. Let me take a look through them and see if any of them jump out at me as a logical place to host such a project... Anybody else have a domain or an idea for a domain that would be a good fit for this idea. I would be more than happy to donate both server space and bandwidth to this effort if we feel we can garner enough community support for such a project.
